Usually fabulous but noisy and a group exhibiting anti social behaviour

This is our local site and we visit often. However these past few days have been very noisy . All the children on the site were excited and well behaved. The kids were shouting and squealing with laughter , and it is to be expected in the summer holidays. The offensive noise came from drunken adults who were swearing loudly and partied until the early hours of the morning. The families had dogs with them who barked incessantly at times. (The owners ignored the barking) They had three caravans together . A couple in their late 70s told us that they were upset by their behaviours and fearful as a fight almost broke out. We arrived on the Saturday morning and apart from the early mornings, it was noisy and the noise escalated as the day went on. The females could be heard effing in front of their children during the day . We have always liked the fact that MCC members are respectful. We were quite shocked. I contacted reception to be told that it’s not the wardens jobs to police people. And they had not had any complaints, I explained that people may be fearful to complain . The warden explained that generally they ask members to speak to their neighbours, but the warden understood that this could be an issue. The warden said that the families could be evicted from the site if they witnessed anti social behaviours. I don’t know what time the wardens finish work, but if they walked around at 11pm at night , it wouldn’t take long for them to hear and witness anti social behaviours. I felt security was needed to manage this large group. It’s a shame numerous members had sleepless nights , and were subjected to witnessing appalling language and anti social behaviours The group were intimidating !! For the first time, we were very happy to leave

Another lovely stay

This has to be our favourite site and even in these unusual times it remains so. The wardens were friendly, helpful and polite. The site was well managed and maintained and all new protocols were explained. The dog field remains one of the best, lovely large open space, fenced in securely. The site was at capacity but still managed to feel calm and friendly. The walk to Wickham was an easy 35 mins stroll that the dog loved and you are able to walk to Hundred Acres woods within 10 mins. All in all not much to not like here, we’ll be back ASAP

Works well during unusual times

We had a brief weekend stay to visit family in the local area. The site is just as you would expect from the CAMC, clean and well laid out. The location is lovely. In woodland with the coast in easy driving distance. The main thing really is that the wardens are managing a large site during a very usual period. The pandemic requires us to do things very differently. I felt that the reception system and the system established for using the facilities was excellent. There was a little more waiting around which felt okay given that the wardens has sorted things out so that we could enjoy our time of the site pretty much as if this was a visit in less odd times. It felt a good example of a safe system. And the ice-cream sold at reception is excellent!

A very pleasant and peaceful stay.

This was our fourth venture out in our newly acquired caravan (new to caravan life this year). The site was easy to get to and the directions given by the club were spot on. Access was easy and the welcome was very friendly and Covid safe. There was plenty of choice of pitches and we chose a nicely maintained and convenient pitch near to all services. We liked the 5mph speed limit which is strictly monitored. The site was quiet (despite being full) and there is a lovely walk out of the campsite into Wickham (although Covid seems to have shut the village down at the moment). The site is well located for days out the Chichester, Portsmouth, Hayling Island etc and it meets all of the high standards that we have already experienced at Club sites. We would thoroughly recommend and may well return if we are in the area again.

Lovely site

We enjoyed a lovely four day break at this peaceful site. Our welcome was very warm and during our stay the wardens were very helpful and friendly, particularly when we had an issue with our electric tripping out. The facilities were extremely clean and we preferred the use of hooks for the wristband system rather than the one we had experienced previously at another site using the containers with sterilising fluid. Most people did follow the rules but there are always one or two who don't and entered without a wristband when the toilet block was full which was surprising given the current situation. Our pitch was large with a lovely area of grass behind it where we could enjoy the sunshine. The site is ideal if you want to walk or cycle. We used the path from the site to visit Wickham, cycled along the Meon Valley Trail and also used the National Cycle Network to cycle to Gosport. A very relaxing break.

Meon Valley Escape

We had an 8 day break at Rookesbury just as it reopened. It was wonderful to get away and spend time in our caravan and wih our caravan buddies and heir 3-legged dog (socially distanced of course!) It was our first visit to this site and won’t be the last. The wardens were really friendly and worked hard to ensure the facilities and site were clean and met the Covid requirements. We felt safe and well looked after. There are some lovely walks around the site and it is well situated for trips through the Meon Valley with its lovely streams and beautiful countryside and also the coast. Wickham is a delight and with exploring and is within walking distance of the site through the forest (get directions from the Information Point). It is a dog friendly site with a large dog walk easily accessible.

Dry good as always

Our first venture out this year and to our favourite site. Not disappointed! The new team were welcoming in spite of a paperwork error in the system. Site very well prepared and all new safety systems working well although being of a vulnerable age we avoided all facilities except those we could not avoid. Site very well organised as always. Thanks to all the staff.

Updated Reveiw (Ticks)

I left a review yesterday and would like to warn dog walkers be careful if you walk through the woodland behind the toilet block. Two of my dogs had to go to the vets after being covered in Ticks, hopefully all removed and medication to follow, but the vets cost was more than my four days visit to the site, someone on the site mentioned to my daughter about the ticks when we were about to leave. The field would be a more cost effective dog walk!

Post Lockdown

Great site, wardens were very friendly, helpful. No problems at with the restrictions that had been put into place. fantastic dog walks, the best I have experienced on a club site. It is shame we live so far away or would return again very soon.
